Getting the Dos Done!

I'll be the first to admit that I don't spend bunches of time or money on a beauty regime. As a matter 0f fact, the contents of my bag 'o tricks consists of a tub of Noxzema and a pot of Ponds. Yep. That's the sum of it!

While my teenage self would consume a painstaking hour with customary cosmetic applications and beauty treatments, my almost 40 year old self spends about 10 minutes a day primping. Total, y'all.

And, maybe you think it shows. I'm okay with that.

What I am not okay with is gray hair. Gray. Hair. Gray hair just makes you feel old even when you didn't before you noticed you had gray hair.

Being the frugal-stay-at-home-mom that I am, I tried self coloring kits. Years ago. That didn't go so well. So, I gave in and that is the one expense that I am willing to fork out for. Unfortunately for me, my colorist/stylist/hair doer person skipped out and didn't tell anyone where she went. Yes, she did!

Thankfully, I have some friends with good hair. Friends with good hair = good hair dressers, because I am too old to have friends that don't need hair color!

It was LONG overdue, but I went to my "new" salon today. And just for kicks, I took all the kids. Because doesn't that sound like fun to you? Two and a half hours in a salon with four kids. No?

Mommy loves Isabel's hair growing out!

Isabel loves to get her hair cut!

Isabel won!

She is quite adorable in this sweet pageboy bob type coiffure, if I do say so myself!

And, I do!

Claire is going to grow her hair out, but she got a tensy trim. This was her FIRST time in the chair and she did amazingly well!

Ryan's hair is hard to deal with, also. It's sort of coarse and a little flippy and some sticky-up bits. Won't even discuss Heather's. Ugh. It's better if we just let nature have her way and allow the curls to have their way.
